Product Data

The engagement mechanism is housed in the cleat, not the pedal. This lets you have a double sided pedal but only carry one mechanism (rather than one on each side of the pedal).

The Speedplay X Series' innovative design and unrestricted float changed the shape of clipless pedals and continues to prove that user-friendliness, comfort, and improved performance are all attainable in a simple, lightweight package. The unique shape of X pedals provides knee-saving lateral rotation, without the self-centering action inherent in most pedals - your knees don't have to work against spring tension. The compact, low-profile shape of X pedals positions your foot closer to the spindle for optimal power transmission and unmatched cornering clearance.

And their dual-sided design ensures easy entry and exit. X Series Pedals were Speedplay's first double-sided design and earned a prestigious Designers Choice Award from ID Magazine, the premier publication in the field of industrial design.

These used to be called X3 Cro-Moly Pedals. Pedal body is dark blue, not black as pictured.

Teh low profile Speedplay X5 pedals position your feet close to the axle for optimal power transmission. Plus they offer plenty of cornering clearence. They're lightweight...entry and exit from these dual sided pedals is simple and, while their size might suggest they'd cause hot spots, they're more comfortable than you'd think. The large supporting platform attached to your shoe makes it seem like you're riding a much bigger unit. Thyey're ideal for first timers or anyone with delicate knees as their non-centring design means your legs don't have to cope with the pedals spring tension.
